It is a common statement in Nigeria that “anywhere you go in the world, and you do not find a Nigerian there, leave because it is a dangerous place”. That said, Nigerians are adventurous people who migrate anywhere they feel the grass is greener.
In recent times, several cases of brutality against Nigerians have been reported in several countries, raising eyebrows in some quarters and causing outcry from Nigerians back home and in diaspora.
As the 103rd session of the International Labor Conference gets underway in Geneva, Switzerland, the Nigerian delegation led by minister of labor and productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu has chosen to speak about the current trend at the conference.
Vanguard reports:
The challenge of discrimination, harassment and other forms of intimidation experienced by Nigerians, especially youths working abroad, was the focus of Nigeria’s presentation at the ongoing 103rd session of the International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu, while addressing the plenary, asked the International Labour Organisation, ILO, to “galvanise its pace setting potentials for the building of national capacities, partnerships and promotion of collaboration in re-integration programmes and other forms of interventions for the effective mitigation of the challenges of migration in a largely prismatic world.”
Wogu said Nigeria’s interest in migration “is informed by the large number of Nigerian youths that are globally mobile,” adding that the present administration “adopted a paradigm shift within the framework of the Transformation Agenda with strong emphasis and commitment to managing the challenges of migration as a sending, transit and destination country.
“We have benefitted from this phenomenon, especially in diaspora remittances. We have also experienced the challenges of discrimination, harassment and other forms of social exclusions in the world of jobs.
“Migration is a problem when it is irregular and we are bothered about irregular migration.”
The Minister said although migration within the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, is legal, “it can still pose a big problem.”
The minister, whose speech coincided with ILO’s World Day Against Child Labour described child labour as “an unfair labour practice,” adding “Nigeria does not support child labour in any form.”
He said inspections are being carried out in factories to ensure that they do not engage in the child labour.
Wogu said: “Nigeria has the lowest incidence of child labour,” and that several government agencies are collaborating to it.
On the Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, signed by Michael Imoudu National Institute for Labour Studies, MINILS, and the International Training Centre, the Minister said it was the climax of discussions which began last year.
The minister, while expressing optimism about the MoU, said: “It has my blessings, including that of Mr. President.”
He said MINILS had started receiving requests from participants from the sub-region, who wanted to benefit from the joint programmes.
